ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

SI Technologies, Inc. (formerly Structural Instrumentation, Inc.) - SI -
manufactures mobile and stationary weighing systems for the transportation
industry, vehicle fleet information systems and force measurement devices.

The three general types of electronic weighing systems include: on-board
weighing systems installed in the frame or suspension system of a vehicle,
semi-permanent industrial axle scales, and portable platform scales used both by
weight enforcement agencies and general transportation companies.

Fleet information systems are made up of on-board vehicle and base operation
computer hardware and software that collect and report operating information
used to manage and improve the performance of fleet operations. Specific
benefits from system utilization include increased driver and truck efficiency,
reduced maintenance costs, better safety records, reduced manual report
generation and improved customer service. 

Force measurement devices are electromechanical components that convert a
physical force to an electrical signal. When matched with microprocessor
controlled digital electronics, force measurement devices measure forces such as
pressure, weight, mass and torque. Commercially, force measurement devices are
used in electronic scales and a wide range of machinery and equipment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

Sales

     Net sales increased to $3,125,013 for the quarter ended January 31, 1996
     from $3,039,663 for the same period last year. This is an increase of
     $85,350 or 3% over the prior year's second quarter results. Net sales for
     the six month period ending January 31, 1996 were $5,826,036 compared to
     $5,082,073 in the same period of fiscal 1995. This is an increase of
     $743,963 or 15% over the prior year's first six months. 

     The second quarter sales increase is the result of very strong sales in the
     U.S. forestry market, a continuation of the company's growth in the US
     waste market and increasing sales to international markets outside of
     Canada. Sales to Canadian customers decreased as compared to the second
     quarter of last year. The reduced activity in the Canadian market reflects
     the slowing of their pulp industry after a period of very rapid growth.

Gross Profit

     Gross profit for the quarter was $1,457,072 compared to $1,485,587 in the
     second quarter last year. This is a decrease of $28,515. Gross profit for
     the six month period ending January 31, 1996 was $2,757,404 compared to
     $2,473,175 in the same period of fiscal 1995. This is an increase of
     $284,229 or 11%. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased in the
     second quarter and for the six month period ending January 31, 1996 to 47%
     as compared to the 49% recorded in both the second quarter and first six
     months of last year. 

     The decline in gross margin reflects increased costs associated with
     manufacturing startup expenses incurred for new products introduced during
     the second quarter of fiscal 1996 and reduced selling margins related to
     entry into new markets.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     SG & A expenses decreased to $841,095 for the quarter ended January 31,
     1996 from $938,905 for the same period last year. This is a decrease of
     $97,810 or 10% over the prior year's second quarter. SG & A expenses as a
     percentage of revenue decreased to 27% down from 31% in the same quarter of
     last year. SG & A expenses for the six month period ending January 31, 1996
     were $1,626,901 as compared to $1,618,779 in the same period of fiscal
     1995. This is an increase of $8,122, a change of less than 1% from the same
     six months of fiscal 1995. For the six month period, SG & A expenses as a
     percentage of revenue were 28% as compared to 32% during the first six
     months of last fiscal year. 

     The changes in SG & A expenses reflect higher expenditures relating to
     additions to the company's sales force which have been offset by lower fees
     for professional services.

Research and Development and Engineering Expenses

     RD & E expenditures increased to $226,912 for the quarter ended January 31,
     1996 from $215,344 for the same period last year. This is an increase of
     $11,568 or 5% over the prior year's second quarter. RD & E expenses as a
     percentage of revenues were 7% in both the second quarter of 1996 and the
     same quarter of last year. RD & E expenditures were $441,607 for the six
     month period ending January 31, 1996 as compared to $353,098 in the same
     period of fiscal 1995. This is an increase of $88,509 or 25% over the prior
     year's six month period. The higher spending reflects a higher rate of
     investment in new product development as well as increased product
     extensions for existing product lines. The Company expects to continue its
     aggressive product development program into the near term.

Intangibles

     The amortization of intangibles decreased to $22,596 for the quarter ended
     January 31, 1996 from $37,618 for the same period last year. This is a
     decrease of $15,022 or 40% from the prior year's first quarter. For the six
     month period ending January 31, 1996 amortization of intangibles was
     $45,192 as compared to $75,236 in the same period of last fiscal year. This
     is a decrease of $30,044 or 40% from the prior year's six month period. The
     lower expense reflects the completion of amortization for non-compete
     agreements associated with an acquisition.

Interest Expense and Other Income/Expense

     Interest expense decreased to $17,828 for the quarter ended January 31,
     1996 from $41,137 for the same period last year. This is a decrease of
     $23,309 or 57% from the prior year's second quarter. For the six month
     period ending January 31, 1996 interest expense was $36,205 as compared to
     $73,555 in the same period of last fiscal year. This is a decrease of
     $37,350 or 51% from the prior year's six month period. The lower interest
     expense is the direct result of reduced borrowings by the company. 

     Other income was $8,117 in the second quarter. This compares to an expense
     of $17,958 recorded in the second quarter of last year. This is a change of
     $26,075 from the prior year's second quarter. Other income for the six
     month period ending January 31, 1996 was $36,507. This compares to an
     expense of $2,507 in the first six months of last fiscal year.

Income Tax Expense

     Income tax expense increased to $133,700 for the quarter ended January 31,
     1996 from $48,600 for the same period last year. This is an increase of
     $85,100 from the prior year's second quarter. For the six month period
     ending January 31, 1996 income tax expense was $243,700 as compared to
     $73,600 in the same period of last fiscal year. This is an increase of
     $170,100. The increased expense reflects the higher pretax income recorded
     in the current quarter and a higher effective tax rate. 

     The effective tax rate for the second quarter and six month period ended
     January 31, 1996 increased from the same periods last year due to the full
     utilization of tax credits now consumed. The effective tax rate for the
     quarter and six month period exceeds the U.S. federal corporate income tax
     rate of 34% due to the amortization of intangible assets which expenses are
     not deductible for income tax purposes and due to state income taxes.

INFLATION

Historically, the impact of inflation has been negligible, as the Company has
been able to offset the effects through efficiency and price increases.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's line of credit of $2,000,000 that matured November 29, 1995, was
renewed with U.S. Bank of Washington effective November 30, 1995. The new line
of credit was renewed for $2,000,000 and is for a two year term. The new
agreement included more favorable terms for the company than the prior
agreement. As of January 31, 1996 the Company had borrowings of $13,041 under
the line of credit. 

The Company believes cash flow from operations and the funds available under its
bank facility will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital needs.
